There are many inns in Jiangcheng, but there is only one that has not turned off the lights now.

Xue Hongbi was placed on the horse horizontally, stepping on the snow all the way, so that he almost vomited, fortunately, this inn was not too far from the Zhong Chu River, and the horse arrived at the door after only two incense sticks, and the man who had suffered a secret loss in his hands before threw him off the horse and rolled twice in the snow.

Xue Hongbi spit out the snow in his mouth, looked up at the signboard hanging high on the lantern, on which the words "North and South Inn" were written, he recalled a little, remembering that he had been here when he went into the city to find the inn, but unfortunately the door was closed at that time, and the shopkeeper only opened a crack in the door to look at him and Fu Yuanyu, and then he was busy closing the door to catch people.

With Fu Yuanyu's virtue, he would never sleep like a beggar in a rotten bridge and broken alley in this cold winter and snowy night, and there was only one place to go, Feixian Tower.

Xue Hongbi's heart was spinning, and seeing that the remaining seven people also dismounted one after another, he stretched out his hand to drag himself into the inn, and immediately let go of his voice and shouted disregardlessly: "Help!" Someone! There are flower shooters—"

The young man's voice was a little hoarse and out of tune, and there was silence all around, and the shouting soon spread far away, Xue Hongbi could hear the sound of rustling in many nearby houses, as well as the movement of the door latches and windows being played, but in the end, no door opened, and no one came out.

Late at night, the horses did not see the patrol, shouting loudly and ignoring the voices of people, Xue Hongbi finally determined that the entire Jiangcheng had become a huge trap, and he and Fu Yuanyu had already thrown themselves into the net.

Who can do this in a city? Except for listening to the rain pavilion, Xue Hongbi had nothing else to think about.

"Be honest!"

The man in Tsing Yi, who had just dropped him off the horse, grabbed him by the collar and said viciously: "Don't be clever, otherwise you will cut your tongue!" ”

The door of the North and South Inn has been opened, but it is not the shopkeeper who goes out to greet him, but a short and thin old man, seeing this group of eight people escorting Xue Hongbi forward, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly put everyone in, and backhanded against the door.

The hall was brightly lit, more than a dozen people from the rivers and lakes were standing or sitting, all wearing short military uniforms and carrying weapons, a few people were drinking and whispering, and more people remained silent, their fingers occasionally spasmed, suppressing excitement and apprehension.

Xue Hongbi tied his hands behind his back, and his steps staggered in, and the moment he saw him, the people who were originally sitting stood up, and the drinkers also put down their wine bowls, and several eyes shot at him like arrows, stabbing people in panic.

There was wine and a stove in the lobby, with the smell of wine and meat, it was much warmer than the snowy street, but Xue Hongbi felt chills all over, subconsciously retreated, and was pushed forward by someone holding down his shoulders.

The short and thin old man who welcomed them in rubbed his hands and said to the man in Tsing Yi who grabbed Xue Hongbi: "Brother Chen, this is the little evil seed who followed the old devil?" ”

Before the man in Tsing Yi could speak, Xue Hongbi snorted him first, and sneered: "It's in vain that you have lived for such an old age, and you haven't learned to speak human words, I'm afraid you won't be a turtle king!" ”

He was young but sharp-toothed, some people present were indignant and some laughed, and the short and thin old man scolded with a blue face: "Your father and mother are both traitors, you are a bad seed, where did the old man say it wrong?" ”

"The benevolent see the benevolent, you see that others are evil seeds, and you don't know what kind of thing was born!" Xue Hongbi scolded back unceremoniously, he had read the book, and he scolded people very sharply and harshly, making the short and thin old man so angry that his face turned blue and black, and he was about to slap him.

Xue Hongbi didn't hide, she suffered this slap, and at the same time bent her knees, Rao is short and thin old man hid quickly, and left a dirty shoe print on his clothes.

Seeing that he was so unruly, everyone present had no intention of watching the excitement, the man in Tsing Yi was the first to remove his jaw, and dragged him to the backyard, although Xue Hongbi couldn't speak, his body was not honest, and he struggled desperately under his hands, and even kicked over a table and chair, making a big noise.

The short and thin old man was still angry, but when he saw this, he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, it's better to give birth, don't disturb ......"

"What are you doing?"

Before he could finish speaking, a somewhat weak young man's voice came from the second floor.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, but Xue Hongbi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had always been aware of current affairs, and now he took the initiative to provoke naturally not to find a fight, but to think that Fang Huaiyuan deliberately sent someone to escort him here, firstly, there was a fear that something would happen to Feixian Tower, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of themselves, and secondly, there should be someone in this place who was worthy of Fang Huaiyuan's trust and trust, and there was a world of difference between them and these dragons and snakes mixed rabble.

It was a big gamble, and it might be worse off for him to alarm him, but if he didn't muddy the waters, it would be harder for him to find a chance to get out.

Xue Hongbi raised his head and saw two figures standing on the railing on the second floor, one was a man in his forties, dressed as a servant, with a cold face, and his right sleeve hanging down emptyly at his side, obviously disabled, and the other was a young man wrapped in a thick cloak, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with phoenix eyes and phoenix eyes, and his facial features were neatly peugeot, like a young man from a rich and noble family, but unfortunately his face was too pale, and his lips were purple.

Seeing the scene downstairs, the young man was stunned, and the sleepiness quickly dissipated, he glanced at Xue Hongbi several times, and said hesitantly: "You guys...... Who's this? ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally the man in green clothes spoke: "Young Master Fang, I will send this little devil here to be temporarily imprisoned by the order of the alliance master, I don't want him to be fierce and untamable and disturb you." ”

In less than a day, Xue Hongbi had completed the transformation from a little evil seed to a little devil, he sneered in his heart, pretending to be frightened on his face, and stared at the young man tightly.

The young man frowned, and when he saw Xue Hongbi in embarrassment, he couldn't help but say, "My father asked you to detain him, but did you order him to be tortured?" ”

"This ......"

"Since there is none, it is good to do your duty, so as not to cause extraneous branches." Although the young man had a sickly face, his momentum was not weak, and the one-armed man standing beside him also cast his eyes down, and he never said a word, which made people feel even more chills down his spine.

Xue Hongbi never thought that this young man was Fang Huaiyuan's only son, Fang Yongyan!

It is also his luck, the martial arts league and Tingyu Pavilion teamed up to set up an ambush in Jiangcheng to besiege Fu Yuanyu Such a major event is naturally impossible to bring a small sick seedling, but last year Fang Huaiyuan's biological mother died of illness, he couldn't get rid of his shoulders and two fingers, Fang Yongyan went to Rongchuan's hometown to guard filial piety for his grandmother on behalf of his father, and now he happened to pass by Jiangcheng on his return trip and bumped into this bone eye, Fang Huaiyuan had no choice but to arrange him over, there are many martial arts league people staying here, it is always safer than other places.

Fang Yongyan's appearance saved Xue Hongbi from a beating, but he couldn't let him escape, after stopping everyone from being rude, the master and servant returned to the room, Xue Hongbi has always been good at judging the situation, obediently stopped resisting, and let the man in Tsing Yi drag him into the backyard firewood room.

This room was full of all kinds of firewood, dirty and messy, and the man in Tsing Yi had just dragged him in, and the short and thin old man came later, carrying a chair with a back in his hand, and tied Xue Hongbi to it with a cow tendon rope, which made his skin and flesh hurt.

They tied up the person but did not leave, but against the door, and put Xue Hongbi's jaw back in place, surrounding him silently, the greed in his eyes almost overflowing.

Xue Hongbi was vigilant and asked in a dumb voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Boy, I advise you to be honest so that you don't suffer." The short and thin old man was embarrassed by him in public, and sneered when he heard this, "We all know that you are not only the son of Rainstorm Pear Flower, but also the righteous son of Fu Lao Mo...... That old devil is dying, you are his only heir, he must have passed on the secret book of "Heaven Interception" to you, as long as you hand it over, we can intercede for you in front of the alliance leader! ”

Xue Hongbi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You claim to be famous and decent, but you also care about the things of the evil demons? ”

"Less nonsense, hand over the cheats, otherwise it will make you look good!"

"I don't have cheats." Xue Hongbi snorted, "If you don't say no, you won't have it, there's a kind of you picking my skin!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start: "You and we—"

"Brother Chen!" The short and thin old man hurriedly grabbed him and lowered his voice, "Don't alarm the others, Fang Gongzi and that Liu Yishou are also here!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi was originally disdainful, but when he heard the words "Liu Yishou", he remembered something, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Xue Hongbi and was unwilling: "This little sinister eats hard and not soft, you have to give him some color to see how to be obedient!" ”

The short and thin old man smiled strangely: "It's really not good to be rough, we can change the way." ”

After that, he asked the man in Tsing Yi to be optimistic about Xue Hongbi, opened the door and went out, and came back with a graceful woman after a while.

Xue Hongbi has seen Bai Zhiwei and Yin Mei, and then looks at this woman and only thinks that she is vulgar, but she has a pair of beautiful hands, and she is holding a stack of yellow table paper in her palm.

The short and thin old man said in a weird manner: "Girl, tell this little ghost about your unique skills!" ”

"Great!" The woman approached with the yellow table paper, leaned over to look at Xue Hongbi for a while, and said softly, "I am Aunt Mei, my husband was an errand boy in the prison, and taught me a good job, called 'Plum Blossoms in the Rain', that is, I took a piece of yellow paper soaked in water and pasted it on the prisoner's face, and slowly lost my breath, no matter how hard the prisoner was, I couldn't stand it, if I want to resist hard, do you know what the end is?." ”

She stopped when she said this, Xue Hongbi cooperated with a look of fear, and muttered, "What's the end?" ”

Aunt Mei smiled when she heard this: "If you don't make a move, wait for the water-stained yellow paper on your face to layer on top of each other, and the person will slowly suffocate to death, and when the yellow paper pulp is dry, carefully peel off, and the paper mask will rub off the person's facial features, which is lifelike and looks so tight!" ”

After she finished speaking, the short and thin old man reached out and grabbed the end of Xue Hongbi's hair, forcing him to raise his head, and the man in Tsing Yi next to him brought a basin of water, and saw that Aunt Mei soaked the yellow paper in water and folded it on Xue Hongbi's face one by one.

Xue Hongbi is good-looking, and Aunt Mei's paper-folding skills are also stable, and her face and paper tarts are tightly together, and there is not even a bubble.

Then they soon saw the boy struggling in his chair, which rattled like it was about to fall apart.

The rain poured plum blossoms and saw the effect, but the three of them frowned, just because the reputation of "Intercepting the Heavens" was outside, but all those who practiced this exercise were not afraid to hold their breath, and they used this trick to use both torture and temptation, after all, people can lie, but the body's instinctive reaction is difficult to hide.

What they didn't know was that Xue Hongbi was forced to give up the operation of the internal breath because of this.

Five stacks of paper, Xue Hongbi seemed to have been thrown into the oil pot, and his body rolled and jumped, but the rope firmly bound him to the seat, and he could only shake his head desperately, like a prey caught by a python.

The man in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and tore off the yellow paper, Xue Hongbi coughed violently, her breathing was heavy and muddy, her wet face was white and blue, and her eyes were a little sloppy.

When things got to this point, the three of them knew that they couldn't be good, and the short and thin old man said viciously: "Is it okay?" If you don't want to die, hurry up and hand over the cheats! ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Seeing that he didn't change his words at this point, the man in Tsing Yi and Aunt Mei were both shaken and guessed, and were about to persuade a few words, but the short and thin old man had already grabbed the remaining yellow paper, soaked in water, and the whole person pressed on Xue Hongbi's legs, raised his hand to cover the yellow paper on his face, and it was a crazy demon posture who would not give up until he achieved his goal!

"Don't-" The man in Tsing Yi hurriedly grabbed his arm, "If you kill him, how can you explain it to the alliance leader?" ”

"Brother Chen, there is no turning back when you open the bow!" The short and thin old man's eyes were gloomy, "We are behind everyone's back to ask the cheats of "Intercepting the Sky", once the matter spreads, it will be a big disaster, this kid must know something, if he can ask a little bit, he will earn, if he can't ask...... Kill him, find a cover for it, and the dead won't tell us what we've done! ”

The man in Tsing Yi's heart jumped, but Aunt Mei reacted and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, what Daddy said is very true!" ”

Xue Hongbi heard their words clearly, and the last trace of worry in his heart was gone, as the yellow paper became thicker and thicker, he quietly operated his inner breath, but the struggle on the surface gradually weakened, and the fingers tied behind him hooked the knot at some point, just waiting for the three people to approach.

At this moment, the closed door was suddenly kicked open, and Xue Hongbi immediately retracted his fingers and writhed like a dying struggle.

"Who is it-" The man in Tsing Yi who was closest to him was already a thief, and when he heard the kicking on the door, he immediately turned back, but his face turned pale when he saw the person coming.

Standing at the door was the one-armed man, his eyes as cold as a knife, and he didn't know how long he had been standing outside the door and how much he had heard.

Xue Hongbi didn't know him, but the three in the room knew, this guy's surname was Liu, and he made a good knife technique to seal his throat with blood, and he was Fang Huaiyuan's right-hand man, after Wa Huangfeng was injured and broke his arm in a battle twelve years ago, everyone thought he was useless, and he didn't want Fang Huaiyuan to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to save his life, he also practiced the left-handed knife technique, which was even more powerful than before, with the nickname of "Liu Yishou", but he was grateful for Fang Huaiyuan's kindness, quit the martial arts league and became a servant of the Fang family, and his reputation gradually faded.

The person who is trusted by Fang Huaiyuan wholeheartedly is not Fang Yongyan, but him.

"Liu ......"

Before the short and thin old man finished speaking, a red line burst from the middle of his forehead, and his whole face seemed to be split in two, and before he could even scream miserably, the person fell from Xue Hongbi's body.

No one could tell when he crossed the doorway and when he stabbed him in the head.

Liu took off the stack of yellow paper with one hand, Xue Hongbi was so suffocated that his face turned blue, and he was finally able to gasp for breath, he knew that the situation had changed, and he was glad that he couldn't bear it just now, so he simply pretended to be the end, and closed his eyes and fainted after choking a few coughs.

Liu untied the rope and set him up with one hand, ignoring the corpse under his feet, turned to look at the man in Tsing Yi and Aunt Mei and said, "You are so bold." ”

He only has one hand, and now he can't even pull out the knife in order to hold people, but the man in Tsing Yi and Aunt Mei still feel trembling, and when they saw him approaching, they retreated.

"With this ability, you dare to plot "Intercepting the Sky"?"

For this kind of person, Liu Yishou is stingy even to take a second look.

He walked out with Xue Hongbi, and the people waiting outside immediately rushed in, took down the man in Tsing Yi and Aunt Mei on the spot, and tied them up.

After this incident, Liu Yishou naturally wouldn't leave Xue Hongbi in the care of others, so he took him up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the second guest room on the left side of the corridor.

Fang Yongyan hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she quickly got up and opened the door, and when she saw Xue Hongbi, who was pale, she frowned, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"As Gongzi expected, their eyes flashed and they had ghosts in their hearts, so they avoided the private punishment of others, and wanted to ask about the secret book of "Intercepting the Sky". Liu Yishou said everything he heard, but he didn't enter the room, "It's late at night, I'll take him next door to rest, if the son has any orders, just call me." ”

Fang Yongyan nodded, he was not in good health, he was already sleepy, but he didn't worry about letting Liu Yishou go over downstairs to take a look, and now that the matter was resolved, he also let go of the big stone in his heart, turned around and closed the door.

This inn has been taken over by the Wulin League, Liu Yishou directly opened the door of the next guest room, placed Xue Hongbi on the bed, checked the pulse and tested the breath, and then pulled a stool to meditate.

Unconsciously, the ugly time is coming, and it is the dead of night inside and outside the north and south inns.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, Liu Yi opened his clear and cold eyes, first looked at Xue Hongbi, who was still asleep, and got up to open the door.

Outside the door was a disciple of the Linyuan Sect, who said in a low voice: "Senior Liu, Senior Brother Zhan, they are back and are waiting for you in the mansion." ”

It is not a secret that Zhan Yu went to Hanshan with the Ten Grace Orders, since he came back, it means that the master of Hanshan should also come, and because of this, Liu Yishou couldn't figure out what they were looking for him.

He frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"We don't know, Senior Brother Zhan only sent someone to carry a message and this token, saying that there is something important that we need your help."

The disciple handed over a token, and Liu Yiyi checked that it was correct, and after a moment of silence, he responded.

He called a few people to guard the door, and asked this Linyuan Pavilion disciple to enter the house to watch Xue Hongbi, and then went downstairs to meet the person who delivered the letter.

Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the window, and the disciples of Linyuan Pavilion sitting at the table learned Liu to meditate with one hand crossed, but he didn't notice that Xue Hongbi, who was lying on the bed, had opened his eyes.

Not long ago, the half-dead young man got up silently, supported the bed with his palm, and the person turned over and fell on the table, the disciple immediately opened his eyes when he noticed the wind, the back of his neck had been hit hard, his eyes were black and soft, and he was supported by Xue Hongbi, carefully posed, and held his head with a vase, which looked like he was sitting upright at first glance.

After doing this, Xue Hongbi slowly exhaled a breath, all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart, he quickly made up his mind, and while the guards outside were not alarmed, he opened the window and looked, and found that there was a backyard below, so he leaned out and grabbed the window frame of the next room, and slowly pushed open the window and turned in.

Fang Yongyan was lying on the bed and sleeping deeply, not realizing that there was an uninvited guest in the room, until Xue Hongbi walked to the side of the bed, he noticed something in a daze, and before he opened his eyes, the sleeping hole had been hit, and his head tilted and he slept even deeper.

Xue Hongbi was sure that he had fallen asleep, tore a piece of fabric from him, bit his finger and wrote a line of scribbled blood - one life for one life.

He placed the fabric on the table and leaned over to carry it.

Fang Yongyan is one year older than Xue Hongbi, but his weight is much lighter, Xue Hongbi didn't feel hard carrying him, he was secretly happy in his heart, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the backyard at this time, he jumped down with Fang Yongyan on his back.

At this time, the lobby was full of people, mixed with vague angry scolding and cursing, Xue Hongbi estimated that those Jianghu people were busy cleaning up Aunt Mei and them, but they couldn't do it lightly, if they wanted to take Fang Yongyan out over the wall, they would inevitably alarm them, and they would have to be arrested if they couldn't run far.

After weighing it for a moment, he picked up a stone and threw it at the second floor, and at the same time grabbed Fang Yongyan and jumped into the well in the courtyard.

With a "bang", the stone smashed on the half-open window, and the guards in the corridor on the second floor were the first to notice it, and immediately rushed into the house, first saw the companion who was knocked unconscious, and then found that Xue Hongbi and Fang Yongyan were gone.

Soon, the entire north and south inns were in a commotion, and everyone turned upstairs and downstairs as quickly as possible without seeing two teenagers, and finally someone found a series of footprints winding towards the wall in the backyard, so they thought that Xue Hongbi had coerced Fang Yongyan to go out over the wall, and immediately shouted to his companions to chase after him.

After a while, there were only a few people left in the inn, all of them were still six gods and no owners, and no one knew that they thought that the little devil who was oiled on the soles of his feet hid in the well with the little son of the Wulin League.

Xue Hongbi was not afraid of holding her breath, so she sank her whole body in the water, holding Fang Yongyan to hide in the shadow of the well wall, and it took a while to climb up.

He sneaked into another nearby inn, quietly hid Fang Yongyan in the vegetable storage cellar, thought about the kindness of saving him, stole a thick quilt for him, and then moved the clay jar and box to block it tightly, and then left.

He kidnapped Fang Yongyan, and the people from the North and South Inn poured out to look around, thinking that Fang Huaiyuan's side would soon know the news and see the blood letter he left.

If Fang Huaiyuan wanted to kill Fu Yuanyu, he had to weigh his son's life first.

After doing this, Xue Hongbi has done his best, he should stay here obediently and wait for everything to settle.

However, there was always an inexplicable irritability and panic in his heart.

Fu Yuanyu is not a master he is convinced of, let alone a good father-in-law, Xue Hongbi doesn't know how many times he cursed him behind his back, and he also knows that his life is short.

But he couldn't wait for a death here.
